The Glass Guru is pleased to announce the release of the organization’s 2019 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). As with all franchise organizations, the FDD represents the only official solicitation for franchise territories for sale, and is subject to strict oversight by most states. Each year, the FDD must be updated, and submitted to states for approval. With the recent multi-state approval of our FDD, The Glass Guru has updated the information available to franchise candidates considering the company’s franchise opportunity.
